Union 1027 Non Deadlocking Nightlatch (case only)

Nightlatches are a common locking product found mainly on residential front doors. They ordinarily feature a single sprung latch locking point which engages automatically when the door is shut, securing the property.

The Yale PBS3 High Security Escape Nightlatch lock has been approved to BS 8621:2007, BS EN 12209:2003 and BS EN 1303:2005 the highest level of certification currently available making them one of the best available from the original Yale lock inventor.

This nightlatch features a means of mechanical holdback which allows the sprung latch bolt to be physically retained within the body of the nightlatch. When this feature is activated, the latch will not engage when the door closes, therefore the door will not be secured. It is important to consider if this is a feature that is desirable for the application in question as in some circumstances the possibility of the door not being secured may cause issues. Also, some mechanical holdback devices also allow the latch to be secured in the locked position preventing access even when a key is used from outside deadlocking the door. It should also be considered if this is suitable for the application.

This 60mm backset nightlatch is operated by key from outside and via lever turn on the inside. This is an Escape nightlatch. This means that at all times it is possible to easily operate from the nightlatch from the inside, without the use of a key. Escape nightlatches often feature larger internal levers or thumb turns, and are designed to be easily used in the event of an emergency. The internal operation will override any deadlocking and always retract the latch to allow egress.

Supplied with a high security TS007 approved rim cylinder that includes a reinforced protective escutcheon plate. This cylinder is supplied with 2 genuine keys

Ideal for use on wooden front doors where the highest level of security is required.

The British Standard Keyless Egress Nightlatch Door Lock is a high security door lock with a classic and robust design. This lock conforms to British Standard 8621:2007 which mirrors the BS 3621:2017 but for ‘escape locks’ and meets the tough criteria/requirements laid down by insurance companies and the police. Locks meeting these requirements are classified as providing keyless egress at all times. This applies where there is a requirement for an easy action method of opening an external door from the inside with no need for keys or similar devices for unlocking. Especially relevant for entrance doors in multi-residential and other buildings. A keyless lever on the inside of the door ensures it is possible to make an emergency escape in an event of fire.

Available in both 40mm and 60mm backset* making it an ideal product to replace most existing front door locks and is ideally suited for panelled doors. The main bolt is “automatically” deadlocked into the striker, when the door is closed, preventing it from being retracted by a credit card. Designed with a 20mm bolt throw for even greater security and strength. A simple snib button enables the latch to be held in the withdrawn position (only), allowing the door to be accessible without operating the handle. The British Standard Egress Nightlatch is a face fitted, non handed design enabling both left and right handed operation; and the striker is designed with a 3 hole fixing for additional strength and security.

Suitable for inward opening interior and exterior timber doors only, the British Standard Nightlatch is available in brass effect, satin and a range of chrome effect finishes with matching brass effect and satin external cylinders. The external cylinder features a high security integral cylinder pull, which protects the cylinder from being drilled. The cylinder has over 30.000 cut key variations and is supplied with 3 cut keys. Can be keyed to pass or master keyed to allow multiple doors to be accessed with the same key. All finishes meet the requirements of BS EN 1670 Grade 3 (96 hours) for Corrosion Resistance to provide the most robust finish for your hardware.
